Arab successors to Hitler

For the Third
Time: Palestinians Fly Nazi Flag Over Main Highway

Arab village of Beit Umar located just north of spot
where murdered Israeli teens' bodies discovered; swastika regularly flown
there.

For at least the third time in recent months, Arab residents
of Beit Umar have flown a Nazi flag over the village facing the main highway,
angering Jewish residents.

The choice of timing is all the more appalling, coming less than a week
after the bodies of three Israeli teens were discovered in Hevron.

Beit Umar itself is located between Hevron and Jewish town of Alon Shvut in
the Gush Etzion region - it was outside Alon Shvut that the
boys were abducted by their killers as they were
on their way home. It lies just north of the Arab village of Halhoul, where the
murdered teens' bodies were discovered last Tuesday by security forces.

The video was filmed on Sunday, and the flag appears to have
been flown to coincide with countrywide riots by Arab extremists over
the murder of Arab teen Mohammed Abu-Khder, who was killed in a suspected
"revenge attack" for the murder of Eyal Yifrah, Gilad Sha'ar and
Naftali Frenkel.

The riots began in Jerusalem, where police and local Jewish residents were
targeted with violence by Arabs, and has since spread to other parts of the
country. The violence peaked over the weekend, after Abu-Khder's burial on
Friday, and has since abated slightly, with officials vowing tough measures against Israeli
Arabs who participate in the violence.

The last time a swastika flag was flown over Beit Umar was in October. It was eventually removed
after some difficulty, after Arab residents went through great lengths to place
the flag in a high, relatively inaccessible point, making it clearly visible
from the Route 60 highway.

A similar event took place at Beit Umar a few months beforehand, when
hundreds of residents of Gush Etzion who drove down Highway 60 were astounded to see an oversized Nazi flag
flying next to a mosque in the Arab town.

As noted in an Arutz Sheva report last year, the use of Nazi symbolism is alarmingly
commonplace among Palestinian Arab groups - from Islamists like Islamic Jihad
and Hamas, to Mahmoud Abbas's own secular Fatah party.
